What types of research are done at CADDE? 

CADDE works with researchers within Maryland, such as the REACH team at Kennedy Krieger Institute, as well as throughout the United States and even in other nations.     Our studies are generally federally funded, but may also receive support from organizations such as Autism Speaks.

Some of the areas of exploration are:

• Prenatal and obstetric factors
• Candidate genes
• Epigenetic factors
• Comorbid disease/concurrent symptoms
• Screening and early detection
• Service delivery patterns
• Surveillance and prevalence
